still waiting for your uni offer?

Don’t worry! You can reserve your room and rest easy knowing that you can cancel your agreement with limited liability if you don’t receive an offer from Western Sydney University. We call this First Year Exemption, and we think it’s pretty cool.

Prospective domestic first year students who have applied to the Universities Admission Centre (UAC) as a Year 12 applicant for an offer to study at Western Sydney University may be eligible for the First Year Exemption (Eligible Resident).

As an Eligible Resident, you can apply and (if accepted by Village Management) enter into a Residential Agreement at Western Sydney University Village before receiving and accepting an offer to study at Western Sydney University (University Offer) with the knowledge that you may apply to terminate your Residential Agreement with limited liability.

To qualify, you must be an Eligible Resident and enter into a Residential Agreement at the Student Village for the commencing academic year and:

1. Be notified by the Universities Admission Centre (UAC) that you have not received a Western Sydney University Offer; or

2. Receive a Western Sydney University Offer from VTAC but elect not to accept the Western Sydney University Offer.

The First Year Exemption will not apply where you have accepted a Western Sydney University Offer but you elect to defer or withdraw from your studies. Please note that your Application Fee is non refundable.

You must notify Village Management in writing (Resident Notification) within 5 days from the the Universities Admission Centre (UAC) Main Round offers release date (refer to the UAC website for actual dates).

If you are residing in the Village, you must vacate your residence within 48 hours of providing the Resident Notification to Village Management (see Question 2: How Does First Year Exemption Work?).

If you comply with all of the above terms, your liability under the Residential Tenancy Agreement will be limited to the Rent Fees and other charges payable under the Residential Tenancy Agreement from the commencement date of the Residential Agreement to the date Village management receives the Resident Notification from you (First Year Exemption) and you depart the Village. Please note that your Application Fee and Cleaning Fee are non-refundable.

First Year Exemption will not apply where you have accepted a University Offer but you elect to defer or withdraw from your studies.

If you do not comply with the abovementioned terms, the First Year Exemption will not apply and you will be liable for all Residential Fees and other charges payable under the Residential Agreement.

If you are an Eligible Resident wishing to apply for the First Year Exemption, you must notify Village Management in writing (Resident Notification) within 5 days from the Universities Admission Centre (UAC) Main Round offers release date (refer to the UAC website for actual dates). Please send an email with your UAC documentation attached to live@westernsydneyuv.com.au

If you are residing in the Village, you must vacate your residence within 48 hours of providing the Resident Notification.

If you comply with all of the above terms, your liability under the Residential Agreement will be limited to the Residential Fees and other charges payable under the Residential Agreement from the contract start date to the date Village Management receives the Resident Notification from you.

If you do not comply with the above terms, the First Year Exemption will not apply and you will be liable for all Residential Fees and other charges payable under the Residential Agreement.
